Ok guys I just bought my uncle's 1983 Johnson 30 hp long shaft motor from his wife for 300.00!!!where is the best place to get a wire harness? this motor came with his pontoon boat he used it like 3 times and re-powered his boat. and has had it in storage I got it running by hot wiring it it looks like a brand new motor I think i should mix a bit more oil in the fuel as this motor don't have 10 hours on it!!!! let me know what you think thanks :D

Double oil for first 10 hrs. Avoid full throttle during that time and vary power settings frequently. You could either buy a new harness (pricey) from a dealer or try to get a used one from any of the salvage yards listed in the Top Secret Files.
